He quickly forced a smile, cupping her cheeks gently. "Pa isn't sad," he said, his voice low and calm. "It's just tears of happiness."
An pouted, clearly unconvinced, but didn't press further. "Okay…" she murmured before turning back to her food.
Yu watched this scene quietly. Even he could tell his pa was sad.
Mrs. Fu's heart clenched seeing her son like that. She reached out, gently patting Zixuan's hand. "You've done well, Zixuan," she said softly. "Raising them alone… it hasn't been easy."
Zixuan gave a faint, proud smile. "Yes, it's enough that I have them." He glanced at the twins. "They are my whole world now."
An grinned at her father, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed. "Pa, I love you more than Yu does!" she said proudly, puffing her chest out.

He glared at her. "No, I love Pa more!"
Zixuan couldn't help but laugh at their antics.
